Sometimes things don’t go exactly how we plan. But always remember there is a bigger plan, and each event is just a small part of it. Each event, though, is there to teach us something.
The Tacoma Holiday Festival that I participated in ended up being a bust as far as sales, but there were a lot of good things as well. I met really nice people who helped me learn more about selling in a booth. I had a really beautiful booth that I love, and everyone stopped by smiling and laughing, watching the BarnBuds running across the TV screen. And I thought to myself: I am spreading a little bit of joy with my booth.
Yes, I would also like to figure out how to sell more of my work, and i understand that learning takes time. I have another event coming up: the Portland Holiday Market, November 6 to 8, at the Portland Expo Center. I would love to see anyone who is around! Besides prints, you can purchase calendars, and gift cards so friends can choose what they love from my website.
This video shows me unboxing seven metal prints I made for the show, all printed and handcrafted in Italy by my printer, .
